Preparation Tips

Soya beans are dense legumes and require thorough preparation to achieve the best texture and digestibility:

1. Soaking: Rinse the beans and soak them in a large bowl of cold water for at least 8–12 hours (or overnight). The beans will expand significantly, so ensure there is plenty of extra water in the bowl.

2. Rinsing: After soaking, discard the soaking water and rinse the beans well under cold running water.

3. Cooking: Place the beans in a large pot and cover with fresh water (roughly 3 parts water to 1 part beans). Bring to a boil, skim off any foam that forms on the surface, and then reduce to a low, gentle simmer.

4. Simmer Time: Cook for 1.5 to 2.5 hours, or until the beans are tender to the bite.

• Pro Tip: If you are cooking these to make soy milk, it is crucial to cook them until they are very soft to ensure the milk has a pleasant, mild flavour rather than a "beany" or raw taste. Once cooked, you can store them in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for quick use in future recipes.
